Hot Tub popularity across Scotland has soared over the past few years, with lockdowns and restrictions meaning more people than ever are looking for ways to relax and enjoy their time spent at home.
A hot tub is the number one luxury lifestyle item for any homeowner and brings a range of fantastic health benefits as well as being a fantastic addition to any social occasion.
Bubble Box Glasgow is a leading provider of affordable luxury hot tubs and spa baths to customers across Scotland and with an extensive and fully exclusive range of tubs available, you will be able to find the perfect product to suit your needs.
One of the questions our expert team gets asked most often by customers is whether you are able to use a hot tub all year round or if it is only viable during the summer months.
Luckily, given the inconsistency of the Scottish climate, our hot tubs can be used all year round with adjustable temperature controls helping you stay in the height of comfort no matter the outdoor conditions.
This short guide will tell you all you need to know about how to enjoy your luxury hot tub throughout the entire year.
Do I need to drain my hot tub in the Winter?
There is a common misconception amongst many that Hot Tubs need to be drained in the winter and refilled during the summer months.
This is actually only the case in regard to inflatable spas that cannot be used in cold temperatures due to extremely high running costs and potential operation failure, and as such must be emptied during the winter months.
Our range of Aquavia designed spa baths, face no such issues however, working just as brilliantly in the winter and many of our loyal customers see their hot tub a great way to get outside and utilise their outdoor space in colder weather whilst maintaining optimal warmth and luxury.
Does using a hot tub during the winter cost more money?
It can be extremely difficult to relax and enjoy your outdoor tub if you know that the warmth being generated comes with an outrageous price tag.
The cost of running a hot tub in the winter is determined by the type of spa you own, with some inflatable tubs costing as much as £4 per day to run, even in the summer, due to a lack of proper insulation.
However, as long as you do your research and purchase a premium tub from a respected manufacturer, running a hot tub can be more than affordable even during the coldest Scottish winter.
At Bubble Box, we understand that energy efficiency is vital to our customers and as such all our portable Aquavia spas come equipped with an EcoSpa option and an industry leading ENERGY SAVING COVER.
This cover is double the thickness of many other hot tubs and includes an insulation system comprised of serval layers of high density polyurethane foam to help reduce heat loss and maintain water temperature.
This system has been honed over years of meticulous testing and allows our spas to operate effectively at temperatures as low as -25 °C whilst saving up to 67% of power consumption compared to tubs without such technology.
Is getting an all-season hot tub worth it?
Using a hot tub throughout the year is one of the best ways to relax and has a number of excellent physical health benefits.
These include:
- Improving circulation
- Promoting better sleep
- Reducing stress
- Relaxing the mind
- Tackling arthritis
Our Relax Impact system makes a hot tub session the perfect way for your muscles to relax and recover after a workout, giving you a relaxing massage through massage jets and air bubble impact.
Hot tubs can also help reduce signs of aging, tone skin, sculpt muscles, and aid weight loss.
Many of our models also include an aromatherapy system that produces a pleasant aroma rising from the water that is circulated through the air massage circuit.
Other luxury options available on our spas include surround Bluetooth audio and Colour Sense Chromotherapy.
